Want more “yes” answers from landowners? Here is a template you can download and change to suit your scenario. You can simplify or leave as is. In this video below I break down a simple, respectful system for getting permission to metal detect private property—without sounding awkward or pushy. Whether you’re brand new or you’ve been detecting for years, these tactics will help you expand your hunting spots and keep the hobby looking good. Quick tip: In the “Governing law” line, you should change the state/county to match where the property is (and it’s smart to have an attorney review if you want maximum enforceability in your state).

Happy New Years!! For 2026, I have decided to do something rather monumental. It's going to take some time but I am going to share my setup-programs for all current Minelab detectors. I will start with 5 different programs for the Minelab Manticore, they will be: 1. RELICS 2. PARKS 3. BEACH 4. GOLDFIELD 5. TOT-LOTS My next programs will be for the Equinox 900, X-Terra Pro and Elite, CTX-3030, Gold Monster 2000. I will then continue to add my personal programs for all other Minelab detectors that are currently being sold. Stay tuned, I am working hard on this! 😉

Thank you for joining! This is a new group where we can all meet and talk serious tips for research, permissions, setups and of course gear. This online community is the perfect way to have access to me directly for questions or advice. We can also talk amongst each other to share info you just can't find anywhere else. Especially when it comes to top tier research. I have always said, "If you want to find the incredible coins, relics or gold like I have found, you need to be the first detector at a site". It's so true, first person in hit's the jackpot! We can all chat here and get to know each other. This is brand new so it will be slow going at first but once we get a decent number of serious detectorists in here, take a look at the map and you can see where we all live. I really look forward to meeting you in here and answering your questions and getting you the skills you need to be "Successful"https://youtube.com/@brassmedic at this incredible hobby! This online community is still brand new but it will build quickly in a very short period of time. Those of you joining on the trial should expect to see some content as I add it here over the next couple weeks. You can already find my Manticore setups showing up as well as a template you can download to write down other setups including your own. This is not a site full of fluff for beginners nor is it just copy and paste settings. What it really is, is direct access to me as well as the other members.
